The Lens Pen
is a pretty amazing gadget for under 10 bucks. No batteries, no hassle. Every photographer should have this gem in their kit.
There’s a multitude of lens cleaning products out there, but the Lens Pen allows you to easily clean or brush off a lens. really fast, really portable, and really reusable.
To the point! On one end it’s a cleaning pad that really works, and without any solution (takes off fingerprints too). The other end is a retractable brush for getting off excess dust. It’s all about the size of a large pen.
This one is Nikon branded, but it’s cheaper and works great. I have two of them. You can’t go wrong with theese… Gavin Seim
Yup, I have a bunch of these and they are great! I used to buy them for $4,- including shipping from a store in Hong Kong, but now I even get the original Lenspen’s for free when buying a CPL or UV filter from HVStar. It is a really useful tool I always have in my pocket when shooting outside or in dusty old abandoned buildings.
I agree, I have one in my main camera bag and one in my speed belt for the accidental fingerprints or dust specks.
This was the first thing I picked up when I bought my D70 four years ago. It has saved many a photo shoot.
